Agilent / HP E4361A Solar Array Simulator DC Module (call for availability)The Agilent / HP E4361A is a 510W Solar Array Simulator DC Power Module that simulates the output characteristics of a solar array. The Agilent / HP E4361A Solar Array Simulator DC Module is primarily a cur source with very low output capacitance. It offers fast I-V curve changes allowing you to accurately simulate the output of diffe solar arrays under various environmental conditions (ie., temperature, age, eclipse, spin etc.). The Agilent / HP E4361A Solar Array Simulator DC Module gives you the flexibility to operate it in two ways:
Input the four key operational parameters (Voc, Isc, Vmp, Imp) needed for the Solar Array Simulator to internally create an I-V curve of a solar array
